I am using Apologia for our Science this year – so excited! And a new Grammar book following the Charlotte Mason technique. Also a poetry book you reviewed on Curriculum Choice came in the mail recently that I am excited about.

I’m hoping to incorporate more art and music into our home school this year. I’ve been looking at SQUILT an the Chalk Pastel lessons so this would be an awesome addition to our school year. Thank you so much for doing this give away.

Foreign language, writing…essays :(…, art, music, would love to do some nature study but I think I waited too late as my high schoolers are not interested at all and they have so many other things to cover 🙂

I love finding new resources for schooling! This year we are using some fun studies from Confessions of a Homeschooler – We are using her art and composer studies as well as her Scientist and Inventor studies. I am loving the Mike Venezia books that are the base for the studies!

New resources I plan to use are a lot!! (this is our first “official” year of homeschooling!) We are using ALl About Reading Level 1, Writeshop primary book A, Elemental Science-Exploring Science, and Horizons Math!! I am also wanting to get We Choose Virtues, but am praying for funds to come in! We are excited to start this journey!! 🙂

We have homeschool children from PreK through 10th grade, we have used a LOT of stuff in our years of homeschooling! This year, we are trying out a new organizer/planner… hoping it helps keep all 8 of us on track!

We are using a new online curriculum this year. It’s a blessing to our growing family on a tight budget. It’s called all in one homeschool and it’s basically one missionary mom’s online curriculum for her children and she has made it available to others for donation only! Super blessed and excited to tap into this thoughtful resource.

Our homeschool has mostly new resources for this year. We kept BJU Heritage Studies for Social Studies. I plan to use some new books about homeschooling to hopefully give me new perspectives and new ideas to implement in our homeschool.

This will be our second year homeschooling. Last year we didn’t do nearly enough art to satisfy my boys, so we’re going to add lots more this year in actual art class and in projects for other classes. One thing I look forward to adding is chalk pastels…a first for me!

This year my 7th grader will be working on Writing with Skill and my third grader will be using Apologia Science Swimming with the creatures of the 5th day. He will also be using Story of the World and Draw and Write through history.

I would use all of them!
I really need something for Music – I miss it! I just haven’t found anything good yet that I am excited about to teach….
We love Art and my son really got into photography in the last year – he wants his own camera for his birthday now….
Thank you for the chance. Great giveaway. Blessings.

This year I am getting on my knees more each day to see what God has in store for our family. I foresee lots of time praising God and serving others and working on character training. Thanks for the great offer!

I’m hoping to incorporate more hands-on crafts with my third grade daughter, like knitting and cross-stitch–I loved to do those things when I was her age and I know she will too. I’m also hoping to teach her how to properly use our Canon DSL since she has such an interest in photography.

I’ve found the Mardel ‘A Simple Plan’ online planner and look forward to using it all year! I’ve already started it and love it! I look forward to more Mardel Resources as well as I hadn’t heard of them before this! Thanks for the giveaway!

We will love to try Loving Living Math, SQUILT, and Classical Copywork this year. I have heard a lot about SQUILT lately and my interest is sparked. I have been wanting Loving Living Math since it was published. Thank you for the chance to win them!
